week 8 (22th June 2011)

Today a lot of groups come and present their project.... Some of my course mate say that it doesn't have the marks for the presentation and it's just a presentation for the progress of the project of each group de lea... after this presentation there will be no more class as the break is going to start soon.. and it will be the end of the 1st semester and continue on the 2nd semester on august....

Saw some presentation of the groups and feel that they really start some progress and start to move forward to their project.. where our group still stay still at where it is... 0 progression... cause still pending on the idea to be get approve by the lecturer and get our form and contract sign... it seems that the time to use for this contract to be sign has been so long...

so after today presentation the break starts and we gotta get moving on to the 2nd semester!!!
happy holiday~~~~ or not .... haha... have to get it approve before this semester really starts...

Week 7 (15th June 2011)

Oh.. next week is going to be the presentation before the break starts... Our group still got nothing.. so I wander what should we really present about and really there is nothing to present... nothing at all... the deadline is closer and closer... is getting my heartbeat racing up to 300km/h....

BUt anyway... today again i try to contact my groupmate but still no news from them... it's too bad that one of my groupmate got his house break in by some jerk stole his laptop and his mobile phone... right now I am still wandering how am i going to contact him... the most is sending him email and hopefully he got the email when going elsewhere to online or use computers....

It's really sucks that everything bad happening but stilolo we gotta overcome it... what can we really do when we are met misfortune...

But anyway... I today try to crack my head on some new idea as the idea about the reverse sensor and auto braking had to wait until my groupmate came all together so we can get the idea being approve... In the meantime i thought of an idea on installing alternator on to the road wheel in an EV... so that the alternator will not be a parasite of the engine that using the drive belt.... THe alternator will install at the free wheel which does not driver by the drive shaft...

With just a brain working really it's way much hard.... right now i just hope that my groupmate will be able to contact with me and together get things done...

Week 6 (8th June 2011)

It seems that I'm left behind because I didn't really check on to the technology project blog to see what is really updating as I feel weird whenever i check moodle and there is nothing new came up... Just then i realise for technology project doesn't use moodle instead. Once i check the blog just realise there is ton's of stuff in it.... I miss out the presentation call prezi as i think i'm not really paying attention to the class when the lecturer is going on introducing it...

but anyhow i manage to get an account and learn some of the presentation on how they really did it..... still there are alot of question and kinda confusing but still i think if i keep on using it... it may somehow came out to be handy after i get hold on how to use the software....

We had improve the idea by using an additional auto braking function to the system... about 2 to 3 meters behind, the reverse sensor will release the beeping sound and the brake is then being pressurize for a hard braking when the object has reach a meter behind the vehicle....

Applying auto braking on to the system might be bit challenging but somehow we had to came up with the idea before we really can continue and see if we will be able to move on and start our project.....

Week 5 (1st June 2011)

Today after i came to the lecture hall.. i was waiting and waiting for my groupmate to come.. but in the end none show up at the end.. so i gotta think and think of all the ideas opn improving our project and also either came up with a good idea that would get accepted by the lecturer..

My absent of the groupmate makes me feel a little frustration as we already behind schedule but then i feel like not 100% of effort is put into our project... what should I do? I can't contact them and it's really hard to communicate with them even through email... there were no reply for quite a time... all i pray was they come to the class and at least we meet up and can discuss with the project...

It seems like I am the only person that would worry about the project and all.. What should I really do if they continue to ignore of it?

I heard that I have to work in a group and also iI am really sucks in doing the mind cracking stuff alone as I seldom really take part in those Mind Cracking Activities or creativity of activities.... HOping that i still be able to come up with something that can be progress on.... hmmm...

Week 4 (25th May)

THis morning i was waiting and waiting for my team member to come but it seems that they are late... so i appeal the project and idea we've came up to the lecturer and hope to get the approval of it....

To my dismay, the lecturer didn't approve our project and idea cause according to the lecturer it's too simple cause to control the cut off of the signal from acceleration pedal to the throttle body we just design only a switch to control the voltage sending from ECU to the throttle body. It seems that the project have to be difficult and innovative in order to get the project done.

After my groupmate came, we discuss at the library and have to think of ways to improve the lack of the idea and project we had thought of.... Improvement had to be done... Adding an auto stopping function to the vehicle might make it more complicated and difficult and it's really going to be harder as we had to involve more braking component and also the project might get hard for us to do... but anyhow we had to try again to meet lecturer until we really get approval and get on with the project...

3rd Week (18th May)

This week.. we finally came up with an thorough idea on the reverse stop... we did use up alot of time to just think the way it should be done... maybe there is really a way to think all these problems..
Anyhow for the project we come out, the vehicle must equipped with drive by wire system while using the reverse sensor as the main detection of the objects behind. We would try to programme the ECU to cut off the signal from the acceleration pedal to the throttle body in order to avoid the vehicle to accelerate more and crash to the object behind the vehicle...

We had been thought of the idea and hoping to get the approval from our supervisor..... so we now had to get appointment with the lecturer and get it approve and started to move on with our project... Really hope things goes really well for the progress... what should i do if it's fail? i wander what i really can do since i left behind so much... can i finish the project in time?

2nd Week (11th May 2011)

THis week me and the groupmates keep on cracking our head with all the ideas and stuff but it seems that the ideas that we coming out still get restricted... I was wandering what i really did miss out for the last half of semester cause would it be any guidance from the lecturer about critical thinking? But anyway we've come up with ideas of "acceleration cut off during reversing of the vehicle"...

It's really been hard thinking of other ideas as we thought mostly is already been on the market.. but anyhow we still going to appeal to our supervisor and hopefully we can get approval of the project and get on with what I have left behind de le...

1st Week (4th May 2011)

Today I get together in a group with 2 other people and since we are the late comers as that I had been place to the wrong class for the last half a semester, now we had start to brain storming with ideas and ideas to come out with the project that we are left behind of it... We came up with alot of ideas but unfortunately those ideas either is exist on current technology or it's been done by other groups...
THe first day we keep brain storming with ideas but yet to come up with a good and approve ideas as the ideas for the project had to be a new technology or an improvement of the current technologies..Hopefully next week we get to come up with a good ideas and we can carry on with our projects.. but at least we start to discuss and feel that different peoples have different thoughts and idea in their own minds.... It's too bad that my mind is not creative enough to come up with a good topic for the project.....
